Default Any details on Nephi incident?

Can you get an emergency chute in ram air? This is from a parachute web site. “Because of the advanced characteristics of these canopy designs, the Sport Aviator model may only be used by individuals who either have ram-air jumping experience such as skydiving, or have received special training in the use and performance of these canopies”

Yes. Rigging Innovations has two different models. Standard and Sport. Both ram air parachutes the difference is the standard is sold larger per pilot weight and is somewhat neutered with longer brake lines. It will turn slower and not flare as strongly as a proper ram air. Less likely to stall it or turn hard into the ground with the longer brake lines. The sport uses standard skydiving ram air reserves and for that one they want specific training or experience. Take your pick, either one is light years ahead of a round.
